Come to Sunday Club!

At Dyce Parish Church we are delighted to welcome the whole family, while older siblings are in Sunday Club why should the under 4’s miss out on all the fun? In the lounge we run a creche for children from birth to 4 years. Our lovely creche volunteers love a bozy with a wee one or playing with Peppa Pig with toddlers. You can drop them off before the service starts and then head through to church, if your baby doesn’t settle with us we will come through to church and get you, otherwise enjoy the service. Alternatively if you prefer to stay with your child or take them through to the service with you, that is ok too. Please note there is no manned creche facility throughout July and August as our services are family orientated, but you are free to use the creche room if you feel you need too. 

Sunday Club is for children aged 3 years to 11 years old. We meet on a Sunday morning in the Church Hall. Come along at 10:15 for Hot Chocolate and custard creams (other biscuits are available) We learn Bible stories, and about all the wonderful things Jesus did, but also talk about what it means to be a Christian and how God, Jesus and the Bible relate to our everyday life. This is done in a variety of ways, including playing games, doing crafts and always some singing. Before joining the rest of the church for the last part of the service. You drop your child off at the church hall and they are picked up after the service from the church. Then you are welcome to stay for tea or coffee and a fine piece. 

We do various activities throughout the year, the children are encouraged to be part of the wider church. They take a turn to serve tea and coffee after the service, they also do a nativity performance at Christmas and have a prize giving at the end of the school year, where we celebrate each and every child and their amazing talents.

In Sunday Club we have our own collection. We collect silver pennies for our Sunday Club fund which buys things like craft supplies and the custard creams! We also collect "Brown Pennies" which we send to support Tansen Hospital in Nepal. We have supported this hospital for many years. 

Rock Solid has been set up to provide the youth of Dyce Church with a fun and active environment in which 1st – 4th year pupils can hear about Jesus in a creative and relevant way. We try to keep the Rock Solid programme fast paced and it uses a combination of games, interactive activities, discussions, short talks, media and more. 

Our hope is that during their time at the group young people can really consider what it means to be a Christian.

Rock Solid explores ‘life issues’ from a Christian perspective, we hope to build life-changing relationships and give young people a brilliant time, wherever they are at on their journey of faith. 

Throughout the year additional activities are organised with the highlight being a weekend away in Teen Ranch, Scotland. Here youngsters are encouraged to partake in activities such as canoeing, horse riding, and archery to name but a few, they are also encouraged to take part in Faith based learning known as ‘time out’ sessions. 

Teenranch has become a very special place to the youth of Dyce Parish. It is a fantastic weekend of fun, faith and fellowship with the chance to make friends with other young people from youth clubs, schools, churches and clubs from all over Scotland.
